Kindergarten Department Dress Code

All students are to dress neatly, cleanly, and modestly for school. A Christian’s dress and appearance should reflect our requirement to show love and respect towards our neighbors and should reflect positively on Tri-City Christian Academy (Philippians 4:5 “Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.”). Conformance to all dress code and appearance standards is required from the time the student arrives at school until they depart. Dress and appearance standards must be followed for all school functions including evening events whether a student is a spectator or participant.

Spirit Jean Days & Field Trips

Dress code is the norm for most school days. Every Friday students will be allowed to “dress down” as a fundraiser ($1.00 per Spirit Jean Day) for the TCCA Yearbook or as specified by their Department Director or the Administrator. All shirts/sweatshirts worn on Spirit Jean Days must be TCCA athletic wear, which is purchased through our school’s Athletic Department or TCCA logo wear shirts. No torn jeans are allowed during any Spirit Jean Days.

On Spirit Days, students may wear Eagle tee shirts to show their school spirit. Eagle sweatshirts (over a collared shirt or Eagle tee shirt) and special senior sweatshirts (also over a collared shirt or Eagle tee shirt) may be worn to show school spirit.

Uniform dress is required on all field trips, unless due to the nature of the excursion the teacher makes an exception and communicates this to the entire class.
